Speaking of wrenches I hope you invest in a nice Gear Wrench to get that tranny out, youll never use normal wrenches again.

The tranny is out, take me about 40 minutes yank one at this point... I have done a few. I use air tools, screw the wrench ****

But I do have a set of the gear wrench stubbies and longs.[/quote]

You can get to all the bolts with air tools on the bellhousing?

Yup, got a little 3/8 in drive impact and a u-joint! Gotta have a u-joint, then a scredriver for the funky bolt at the top and you need a nice long extension.

Ah, only time I came close to the transmission on one of these was when Jim was putting the engine in my other convertible and I helped him snug the bolts up.
